Sweet Potato and Black Bean Patties

As a busy wife, mom and minister I'm always looking for healthy, easy and QUICK homemade meals for my family!  I LOVE all things made of sweet potatoes! They are incredibly healthy, filling and tastes amazing! I hope you enjoy ... Let me know what you think!

 

3 large cooked and skinned sweet potatoes

2/3 can drained black beans

1 ½ cup bread crumbs 

2 beaten eggs

Garlic powder (to taste)

Onion powder (to taste)

Salt (to taste)

Black Pepper (to taste)

Optional:  substitute 1/2 cup bread crumbs for 1/2 cup cooked quinoa  

 

Combine all ingredients into a bowl, except bread crumbs and/or quinoa. Fold until most of the sweet potato lumps are out. Then add bread crumbs/quinoa and lightly fold in ( bread crumbs/quinioa should be very visible, coating the mixture). Divide into 8 equal sized balls. Place them in heated coconut oil. Flatten  down to a thin patty about ¼ of an inch. Fry both sides until crispy brown.



Serve and Enjoy!!!
